Full name/pronouns: Paulo Gonzales (he/him)
Instagram handle: @iamjohnpau
Location: LA & Atlanta
Vogue Club member since: March 2023
My signature look: My style is ever-changing, but––as of now––I’m into a casual minimalist aesthetic. My wardrobe is made up of collared shirts, shorts, jeans, and coats, which I’ll pair with sandals or boots. I still love 2014-era Louboutin shoes––they’re a cult classic! My everyday jewelry: Bulgari’s B.zero1 ring and Cartier’s Juste un Clou bracelet…
Favorite designers or labels: Matthieu Blazy, Phoebe Philo, Hedi Slimane, Saint Laurent, Celine, Prada, Acne Studios, Lanvin, COS, Alo Yoga
On my fashion wish list: I’d love to grow my jewelry collection and to—one day—have my own line of clothing representing my Filipino heritage.
A fun fact about yourself: I have been a fashion lover since I was a teenager growing up in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia—and before I became a digital creator, social media marketing manager, and founder (I created a plant-based soy candle company, Le MNL), I worked as a flight attendant.
